Dr. Ruth Westheimer sits down with fitness guru Richard Simmons to discuss his life, family dynamics, aerobics and the physically challenged.
Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer is a psychosexual therapist who sprang to national attention in the early 80's following the beginning of her live radio call-in program, Sexually Speaking. She went on to have her own TV program, appeared on the cover of People Magazine and TV Guide, and is the author of 36 books and counting. Her fans of all ages can find her advice on her own website, www.drruth.com, on Twitter @AskDrRuth, at / drruth and in her syndicated newspaper column. In the spring of 2012 will be the debut of Dr. Ruth's Vin D'Amour and a one-woman show about her life, Dr. Ruth All The Way at Barrington Stage in Pittsfield, MA. Dr. Ruth lives in New York and has two children and four grandchildren.

Two of the sweetest people to have ever lived who dedicated their lives to helping others for decades. I can’t believe they both passed away on the same day 😢 RIP Dr. Ruth Westheimer and Richard Simmons

[@iamjetl]

I literally cried all day yesterday because of their passings. Not forgetting sweet Shannen Dougherty as well.

[@moccalou]

They had no idea they would die within hours of each other over 40 years later. Wild. Rest in peace to them both. ❤

[@billj4525]

Nope, that's not something that they would ever consider at all. Both good people though, RIP to both of them.

[@alorenzo5183]

What a gem. I don’t like cheap people either, Richard. When you do well, you spend it on others. Beautiful people that we lost today.

[@user-yw9dr4mj5o]

.... THIS-IS-AMAZING... These two died a day apart and years ago they had this encounter. Love their chemistry with each other, like they knew one another for years. Rest in peace to both of you, Dr Ruth and Richard-- you both changed the world in different ways, one person at a time. ❤❤❤❤

Dr. Ruth, I will remember you for being a sex therapist and for your appearances on Hollywood Squares! Richard Simmons, I will remember you for inspiring me to be fit! Thank you for making me be active! Rest in peace, both Dr. Ruth (96) and Richard Simmons (76)!

[@MrRonZiegler]

i met Dr Ruth and Richard Simmons both awesome people

[@dorisstouder3607]

Very good interview. Richard Simmons has done so much good in his lifetime for all kinds of people, young and old. Richard Simmons is so funny.

[@BobSullivanAKABuffy]

RIP to them both. Delightful interview.

[@jotripodi9872]

I love Richard...he has helped me lose a lot of weight throughout the years...

[@ProMachus6]

I love this man! There are very few people as brave, energetic , kind and charismatic as Richard has been. He has been very generous toward people and I hope he is happy and content at this time. For all the good he has done, I consider him a saint. Saint Richard :-). Why can't there be more people like him in the world.

[@catherinestgermain3362]

Love this video! I have met Richard Simmons several times. He is a really nice guy and so funny! He is a icon! Glad that he is finally taking care of himself. He has been taking care of everyone else for decades.

[@ritahorvath8207]

He is so very sweet. God bless him .

[@arronboss7423]

What a helpful influence Richard had in my life. Very grateful.

[@nunyabisness4300]

What a heart of gold Richard Simmons had. Wish I could buy his positive attitude.

[@Georgeanne17]

I love Richard. I love spoiling those I love. He’s helped so many people, he’s an Angel 💛

[@sonofhibbs4425]

I miss having wholesome helpful genuinely good people as celebrities. Amazing that these two went to the pearly gates together on the same day. Rest in peace.

[@drewski1535]

He sure is one of the many memorable icons of the 80s makes you miss these times

[@melaniexoxo]

I love Richard.. thats all I can think of to say about him

[@Steve98NYy12550]

Who would’ve thought that when these two were sitting on the couch that day that they would both die on the same day roughly 3,000 miles apart.

[@yosoyringodesanantonio8405]

RIP to Dr. Ruth and Richard Simmons!

[@AnAdorableWombat1]

Dr Ruth the greatest generation …

[@primekiller5729]

RIP to both:(

[@YouDownWithOLD]

What a day.

[@exception2everyrule960]

I like the subtle clue of her clearing her throat when he says "dickie" LOL. These shows and their little "ways" lol.

[@alicesnyder978]

This a segment that every body needs to hear!!!!!! 😇👍🤗💃

[@danrode104]

One of the good guys.....

[@adamn7516]

Richard was always somewhat flamboyant but in these earlier interviews he was much more normal and restrained.

[@Cwgrlup]

Both of these icons died today on the same day.

[@iron_lion940]

Now they both died on the same day 7/13/24

[@7peacefrog]

I love this and him too!

[@rally618]

Love to hear talk and laugh. World lost 2 precious people, who gave us the hope. Something we need especially in these times.

[@cher3able]

Rip to you both

[@Kid_Rook]

RIP. Died on the same day.

[@kalel311superman9]

RIP Dr Ruth and Richard simmons

[@funvideoperson5268]

His mom was smart, indeed--she did what she had to do to survive and thrive. 🙏

[@stevarino1989]

his father died in April of 83 and he says it was 2 years ago in this clip (making it 1985) but he also mentions the silver foxes video which was made in summer of 1986. hmmm. great vid though

[@tiredgirl50]

Good to know; I was actually wondering when this aired and that helps a lot.

[@marcjohnson4412]

One of the few videos in which Richard is not wearing a dolphin short.

[@Relaxme0077]

REST RICHARD. A NEW ORLEANS LEGEND♥️♥️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@absolutetruthgirl]

Love you richard!🥰

[@hardcodedgamer2265]

I've never heard of Dr Ruth but she seems equally nice as Richard RIP i hope that both are in a better place because this world is an ass

[@JuanDavid-ke2xq]

Wholesome interview

[@jackchen7003]

They both passed away within a day of each other

[@CSaxon-fx6ip]

People who changed the world both die on the same day 😢

[@Bradley7708]

He seems so normal here

[@josephotter3280]

I love this old krout woman's personality. She's great

[@RaWoodgett]

They died no the same day July 13 2024😮

[@rebeccavance5417]

News in at 2:30 a.m. on my bed but on my way on my bedside

[@CooTooF]

Howard Stern would bring up this interview while talking to Simmons, call her an old bat, and make him nearly storm out

[@dr.seymoursexe9247]

Another tape for silver foxes would probably have different music today. We got older somewhere along the way. A nice look into the past.

[@emilyb3902]

😄

[@PRESCRIPTIVELIVINGDIAGNOSEPRES]

Richard and the silver foxes 😂

[@adoveerberg2821]

"i am so red dressed and so jewish!"

[@davanmani556]

But she can speak Hebrew.

[@7beers]

Jeez, Dr. Ruth, fucking stop interrupting him.

[@rebeccavance5417]

❤ temperature in New York right now Palm

[@sheismymom]

two cuties

[@rvpstudioscanada3991]

I wish that Richard Simmons older self acted more like his younger self here. In this video he is VERY genuine and sincere. The senior Richard Simmons is TOO flamboyant...fake...” I’m NOT gay!”...dressing in women’s dresses and wigs...and acting kooky. NOT being his TRUE self. Just be a NORMAL gay man Richard. Be genuine. Be YOURSELF like you were in your younger days.

[@MrMd217]

I think perhaps because he was so used to motivating people and that takes a lot of energy. It’s like he had to be high energy and he wasn’t sure how to turn that off and it probably wore him out in the end. He is still a lovely human.

[@kellyanderson611]

RIP ! But really just 2 people trying to help other people and to those that make fun should be ashamed of themselves

[@phototristan]

Crazy to think that they both ended up dying on the same day here in 2024...

[@amisbreakthrough5064]

Woah. Died on the same day.

[@rebeccavance5417]

On my bedside

[@jdgafmyob3573]

he actually seem more masculine

[@JavaScriptJolt]

Jdgaf myob Yeah, I think most of what we see is part of his schtick.

[@jrwheeler81]

Richard was NEVER masculine, LOL. He is definitely much more serious and calm here, but not more masculine.

[@sandymoonstone855]

Howard Sterns real wife 😂

[@SusanTrishelMonson]

🤍🤍🤍

[@jpizzle990]

Two of the funniest looking people I've ever seen!

[@yvetteschaerer]

Dr Ruth wasn’t a good listener, she kept interrupting Richard.

[@malcolmburns6104]

I'm glad he came out of the closet.

[@user-zy3nv1jy1m]

RIP Bozo

[@ohmusicsweetmusic]

Why they didn't talk about sex and healthy sex practices, like she usually does? Oh, because it's Richard Simmons, the guy who creepily comes onto straight guys on talk shows but refuses to come out publicly. Got it.
